incredibly school
I was incredibly unpopular in high school but also extremely notorious.
crazy school childhood
I was raised in a Catholic household and went to a Catholic school, and my childhood brain perceived medieval Catholicism as an action movie: There's this crazy omnipresent guy who can destroy you at any moment.
became clinic high kansas medical outside school tech
With a lot of help from my high school teachers, I went to college and became a medical tech at a clinic outside Kansas City.
decent equipment exist fourth miners move number plants roads schools starting virginia west
We have like a fourth the number of miners as we used to have, and the equipment is doing a lot of the work. And, I think that we are starting to get a lot of the other plants and everything like this, that would exist because, a lot of times when plants want to move into a state, they look at the lifestyle. Are the schools decent? Are the roads decent? Do you have, is there decent recreation? West Virginia has those things, now.
girl school kids
I've always been the girl the kids in school would be like, 'What is she wearing?' Then eventually some trends would stick.
music
My image seems to be so infantilized, and I don't really know why. It belittles the music.
cranking hits job
My dream job would be sitting in a room, cranking out hits for Rihanna.
music songs
My favorite music is never the music that anyone else likes, and other people's favorite songs are always my least favorite.
insular
When I'm making a song that's very Grimes, it just feels very insular and it feels weird to have someone else do something on it.
art good
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
experience music musical people
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.
My set can get really screamo and aggressive, or it can be ambient and Enya-esque.
music
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
I think I have serious latent Catholic guilt issues.
